said "ryan would be a tremendous asset to governor romney." joining me now republican senator ron johnson, whose tea party bona fides sent him to washington and ryan is from his home state of wisconsin which leads me to my first question is does this change the mix in wisconsin? can you see republicans picking it up? they are now behind when you look at the polls in wisconsin. can paul ryan pull his own state into the romney column? >> good morning, candy. listen, i think wisconsin's always been in play. we turned wisconsin red in november 2010 because of president obama's policies, because of obama care, people didn't like that, being jammed through, entirely bart san basis. people also understand in wisconsin, we are pretty fiscally conservative here. people have the common sense notion that government should live within its means and as wisconsinites see this president spend our nation into debt, you know, burden our children, grandchildren with $5.3 trillion worth of added debt during this -- his administration, that scarce them so, again,

romney is seasoned while ryan is the rising star, just 42 years old. is this the jolt that the romney campaign needed, do you think, not just with the base but with the broader electorate? >> i think absolutely, you know. that's the thing, especially right now in august. the campaigns have been doing this in-fighting, this small batter-type over, you know, advertising and who said what and now you've about got a vice-presidential pick in paul ryan. he's young, he's energetic, he is a star among republicans, he's rising in the ranks, and he brings the fight now instead of the small battle to large ideas. he propels the campaign up to talk about the two distinct futures, whether or not you're going to go with president obama and more taxes and spending or you're going to choose the romney/ryan ticket which is talking about economic growth and fiscal responsibility. >> now but if you look at name recognition, 54% of americans say that they don't even know enough about paul ryan to form an opinion of him. and as a strategist, how would you advise the campa
